A large linearly graded structure on atomic scale up to 88 at. %/mm with oriented grown crystals was formed in selenium-tellurium (Se-Te) semiconductor using a strong gravitational field of one million G level at 260 degrees C. The lattice constants and the binding energies of Se and Te 3d electrons continuously changed along the direction of gravity accordingly, which indicated the formation of the graded band gap structure. The grown crystals showed the crystalline orientation with the c axis of hexagonal structure roughly perpendicular to the direction of gravity. It was found that the diffusion coefficient of sedimentation was larger than that of normal diffusion by more than 100 times, which suggested a different diffusion mechanism from the normal vacancy mechanism.
